Something interesting about GeekHack's initials...
« on: Mon, 09 July 2018, 12:46:41 »
Apparently, GeekHack's initials (G and H) are the two letters between F and J on standard QWERTY layout keyboards.
This is even more interesting since the site has nothing to do with hacking (necessarily). Maybe this was intentional.

Edited: the term "Hacking" in GeekHack is different than the one I thought of... As pointed out to me in a reply.

it stands for HG as in HG Wells because the GH layout sends you back in a time machine.
